Riassunto

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a way to automate and manage the network configurations of desktop computers and other network devices that use the TCP/IP protocol suite. The DHCP Handbook is a complete resource for understanding DHCP, designing and deploying DHCP services, and debugging problems with DHCP clients and servers. Designed for network architects, implementers and adnimistrators, this authoritative guide includes: • An introduction to DHCP through examples, with background material on configuring TCP/IP protocol stacks • A complete description of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, including examples of how it works and discussion of the intent behind the protocol specification • Advice on how to design, install, and configure a DHCP service to meet the goals of your network installation • Operational details about DHCP servers and clients, and help in timing and debugging DHCP services • Information that will help you to understand the evolution of the DHCP protocol and to plan for the future DHCP allows users to build a network in which they can easily add new computers, replace existing computers and move computers between networked locations. This book is a complete guide that will help you take full advantage of DHCP on your network. If you design or administer networks, The DHCP Handbook is an essential resource to help you: • Use a DHCP server as the agent for managing the configuration of clients • Choose, configure, and manage a DHCP server • Design and deploy a reliable DHCP service tailored to your network and organization • Debug problems with DHCP clients and servers • Understand the most recent developments in new DHCP technologies and functions

Informazioni sull'autore

Ralph Droms, Ph.D., is an educator, consultant, and author. He is the chair of the IETF Dynarnic Host Configuration (DHC) Working Group on automated configuration of networked computers and is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Bucknell University. Ralph organized the DHC Working Group in 1989. He has chaired the working group since its inception and is a key contributor to the design and development of DHCP. Ralph is also editor of the DHCP RFCs and continues to participate in the evolution of DHCP. Previously, Ralphwas a member of the computer science faculty at Pennsylvania State University. He has also been on the research staff at IBM and Burroughs (Unisys). Since joining the Coniputer Science Department at Bucknell in 1987, Ralph has guided students through the study of TCP/IP internetworking, operating systems, and computer architecture. He also served as Co-Director of the computer center at Bucknell, where lie supervised the design and implementation of the campus-wide multi-protocol network. As a consultant in network architecture and infrastructure design, Ralph works with large and small companies on a variety of TCP/IP issues including network architecture, server strategies and configurations, and the use of DHCP, DNS, and other technologies in network management. Ted Lemon is the author of the Internet Software Consortium DHCP Distribution, a popular Open Source distribution that includes a DHCP server, DHCP client, and relay agent. He started programming in 1977, when he decided to make a few changes to the Star Trek game, and has been working in the computer industry since 1983. Ted first encountered the DHCP protocol while working as a network administrator at Digital Equipment Corporation in the early 1990s, and he has been active in the IETF DHC Working Group since 1996. He is convinced that, while answering questions on the ISC DHCP mailing lists, he has answered roughly half of the questions ever asked about DHCP, and he was motivated to work on this book in hopes of being able to help answer these questions more efficiently. He currently works for Internet Engines, Inc., developing the latest version of the ISC DHCP distribution.
